Trap bar

[Tony Gibbo]

What exactly is a trap bar I hear it mentioned on the forum quite a bit, is it called something differant in England, am I just calling it something differant? This may sound dumb, but really I dont know what one is!

you can use them for shrugs but people mainly use them for deadlifts/squatlifts. basically the movement is somewhere in between a dead lift and squat. very good if you have a bad lower bad...very good if you dont.
